Marek Loužek
Politická ekonomie, 2010, vol. 2010, issue 3, 374-391
Abstract:
The paper is concerned with the microeconomic foundations of fertility, analyzing three approaches: the Chicago approach, the Pennsylvanian approach and Julian Simon's approach. The paper highlights the Chicago tradition that perceives children as either consumer goods or capital goods. The approach of Julian Simon to fertility in developing countries is discussed. The article assumes that people decide about their children rationally.
